The creators of the innovative Gravity blanket teamed up with comfort solutions provider Puple—known for the Purple Mattress—to create the Purple + Gravity Blanket and Sleep Mask. This collaboration introduces the world's first weighted blanket featuring Purple's dual-feel technology, which offers year-round comfort thanks to its outer duvet shell and weighted inner blanket. While one side of the blanket boasts a plush fabric for warmth, the other offers a different way for people to keep themselves comfortable with a breathable, technical cooling fabric and moisture-wicking properties.
The Purple + Gravity Blanket has the potential to be used as a throw blanket or even replace the primary comforter on a bed. The companion Purple + Gravity Weighted Sleep Mask is made with the same plush fiber material and supports relaxation by offering gentle pressure.
